Loved the 04 version so much decided to skip ahead a year. Nice brite ruby. Nose of bothe black and red fruits with sweet spices, mulch, and some barney. All come over on the palate along with a much softer mouthfeel than previous Lorings. Soft entry, solid center and a 4 lapper finish. Still some tannins in the background that need another 1-3 to resolve. Good stuff. 90/90 44 13.8% alc!!!!! WW

Opened another of these suckers yesterday. Nose has expanded somewhat and seems to hjave put on some weight('Aint alla-usns). Going to replicatee the July 10 post as I noticed the first ad of the season for the Copper River Salmon. WW
